A judge Monday upheld pesticide manufacturer Monsanto’s liability in a lawsuit alleging that exposure to the company’s Roundup product played a substantial role in causing a man’s cancer.
San Francisco Superior Court Judge Suzanne Bolanos, however, lowered the punitive damages in the case to $39 million from $250 million and said plaintiff Dewayne Johnson must accept the lower amount or she’ll order a new trial.
Bolanos upheld the compensatory damages of $39 million for a total award of $78 million.
Johnson is terminally ill from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
